A number of these can be kept in abottle sterilized ready for use.—William Herbert Rollins. New Mode Denture.—Before the Dental Section of the InternationalMedical Congress at Berlin, 1890, I described the following mode of con-structing an artificial denture, either partial or complete : For example, desired me to make for him a partial upper denture comprising the rightlateral, second bicuspid, and molars, with the left cuspid, bicuspids, andmolars. I first employed the ordinary method of a suction-plate with claspsand a post in the cuspid root, but the patient could not tolerate the presenceof the large plate covering the entire vault of the mouth and causing con-stant nausea. He also complained of pain caused by the pressure of the. clasps on the remaining teeth. To avoid these inconveniences I employedan original mode of construction as follows : I selected a suitable tray, such as is made for the market, and fixed on it arim of tin fashioned to follow the form of the gums, and carefully obtainedan accurate impression, including the entire labial and buccal surfaces ofthe gums. The plaster model was lightly scraped on the outer surface along the bor-der line representing the junction of the muscles with the gums.
